I’ve always been obsessed with remote controlled stuff. Cars, boats and planes — didn’t matter, I wanted them and generally didn’t get them. But one of the few nice thing about being a grown-up is getting to buy yourself the toys you didn’t get as a kid, especially when they go on sale. Case in …

Unlike last year, high school and college graduation ceremonies might actually happen. That alone is worth celebrating, to say nothing of the students who managed to complete their educations in the midst of a full-on global catastrophe. All that hard work deserves a reward, don’t you think? Below, I’ve rounded up some grad gifts that won’t break the bank; they’re …

It’s dark out there. Whether you’re camping, hiking or just making sure you’re prepared for a roadside accident, it’s a great idea to have a lantern for late nights outdoors. I like combo lanterns that do double duty as flashlights, and here’s an affordable option for a wide range of lighting needs. This portable light usually sells for $30, but …

If you’re looking for a Roku TV but want something bigger than 75 inches, be prepared to shell out at least $1,600.

I love the elegance of the Quatro Wireless Power Bank. It’s a sleek, sexy-looking 10,000-mAh power bank with great industrial design that makes it look like a million bucks. But it’s not just a battery; it also has Qi wireless charging, an integrated Apple Watch charger and USB-C Power Delivery. Usually listing for $100, it’s currently on sale for $80. …

If there’s one thing that Best Buy does well — and often — it’s having large sales, and this weekend’s Best Buy three-day sale is characteristically epic. There’s an enormous variety of discounted products, including TVs, laptops, mobile gadgets, appliances, smart home gear and games. But today — Sunday, May 9 — is the last day. See it at Best …

I have a friend who began working from home last spring — you know why. He started by working in the kitchen, and then later brought a folding picnic table in from the garage and set it up in the living room. If your work-from-home situation is anything like that, you can do better. A lot better — and without …

Whether you’re a crafter just on the weekend or need to regularly print professional-looking designs on paper, vinyl and fabrics, Cricut’s DIY crafting machines have your name written all over them. The Cricut Joy is a simple printer and cutter designed with home improvement projects in mind, and can be used for custom graphics for t-shirts, cutting patterns for photo …

I love wireless charging pads, but I can never seem to find the right one for me, with the proper combination of charging coils for my office desk and bedroom. More to the point, my needs sometimes change, and perhaps I don’t want a watch charger taking up valuable desk space anymore when the one in the bedroom will do. …

It seems that Best Buy has a blowout 3-day sale more or less every weekend. But even during weeks when there are no advertised 3-day sale, there are still deals to be had. This weekend, for example, there are a bunch of discounts on electronics as diverse as convertible tablets, TVs, routers and smartwatches. We pulled together some of the …
